General Notes: Husband - Charles Morrow


He was born in the old log cabin on his father's farm in Wayne Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. He had a distinct remembrance of going up a ladder on the outside, to the second story of this building, to sleep at nights during his boyhood days, often to find the snow drifting through and partially covering the bed. He helped to clear the home farm, and as he was quite young when his father died it was necessary for him to shift for himself at an early age. He learned the blacksmith trade at an early age, and followed it for a period of nearly thirty years. He did the blacksmithing in the construction of the dam at Hardscrabble. He had his shop near West Moravia, in an old log building on the farm of William McConahy, his father-in-law. He spent the late years of his active career in farming, owning two farms consisting of 176 acres in all, but he later disposed of seventy-six acres.
